It's not a secret that chrome eats up your resources (especially when managing memory). I certainly don't want this on my PC.

I wished that you have considered to stay at C# like the old NMM (even if that software program is not designed correctly). I have also seen the requirements. Especially the "bonus skills" section. The management has to consider if they're not picking too many technologies. Really, for server side only: Node.js + Rails + PHP. Or is node.js used for some client site tooling? I would really say "Really?" if that's the situation.

Node.js is a component of electron so there is no electron application without node.

For the client technology we've considered many different technologies, not just electron and c#. Electron ended up to be the best trade-off for what we wanted to achieve. We of course considered staying with c# but decided against it, it was not a decision made on a whim.

I don't quite get your argument about: "Why use a the chrome vm when you could use the .net vm bundled with Windows?".
With that very same logic you'd have to ask "Why use chrome when you could use internet explorer bundled with Windows?".

The answer is the same for both questions: Because it's better and worth a couple mb of download.
Well, actually, I'm not going to claim electron is superior to .net in general, but for a UI heavy application at this time it is, in my opinion.

What's so wrong about using modern technologies? All the ones listed for Vortex specifically are very active and quickly becoming a standard.

"Nexus Mod Manager" name was fine & besides, it was always in beta anyway.

It's explained in the original post about naming the product.

This is just about half if not totally a dream job. I am a web developer and have done more then whats on your required list. BUTTTT.... I live in the US and have no idea how to start that visa process. I have however sent you an email about the position with a question and my resume as well. Since I'm assuming that's what a cv is.
